Vishal’s Magudam wraps shoot; new poster highlights actor’s spirited avatar

The makers of Magudam, actor Vishal’s 35th film, rang in the New Year by releasing a vibrant new poster that presents the star in a lively and confident avatar. Seated casually atop a car and dressed in colorful attire, Vishal’s look suggests a character brimming with attitude, charm, and intensity.

The poster release also comes with a key update: Magudam has officially wrapped up shooting and is gearing up for a summer 2026 theatrical release. The film has already generated steady buzz, not just for its visual appeal but also for Vishal’s involvement beyond acting.

Interestingly, Magudam marks a significant milestone in Vishal’s career as he steps into the director’s chair for the project. While Ravi Arasu was initially announced as the director, he later exited the role but continues to be credited for the story, making the film a collaborative creative effort.

Earlier promotional material from the film, including its first look and initial announcements, hinted at a mass-driven action drama rooted in raw emotions and power struggles. Vishal’s character appears to be that of a fiercely determined man navigating a volatile environment, with visuals suggesting themes of rebellion, authority, and survival. The tone across promos points toward a gritty yet colourful action spectacle, blending realism with larger-than-life moments.

The film features an ensemble cast including Dushara Vijayan, Anjali, and Yogi Babu, each expected to play pivotal roles in shaping the narrative. On the technical side, Magudam brings together a seasoned crew with GV Prakash Kumar composing the music, Richard M Nathan handling cinematography, and NB Srikanth overseeing editing. The film’s visual world is further enhanced by art director G Durairaj, while dialogues are penned by Pon Parthiban, with additional writing support for the Tamil and Telugu versions.

Produced by RB Choudary under the Super Good Films banner, Magudam is shaping up as a stylish action entertainer driven by strong performances, striking visuals, and Vishal’s hands-on creative vision. With filming complete and promotions steadily building, expectations are high for the film’s big-screen arrival later this year.
